Doing lots of configuring and setting things up on my laptop today, and haev run into a variety of issues. Some are still present, but a majority haev been taken care of. here are the links, that I have been using today:

Crack a PST password
Put vmnet into promiscuous mode
Disable an upstart job
More upstart disabling
VM DHCP reservations
More VMware DHCP stuff
Favorites list in VMware Player

Still a long way to go to finish the laptop, but I am getting closer!

New scanner benchmark is out.
